A 2012 Australian study found that having a harder to pronounce name was associated with being judged less positively by others, impacting career advancement significantly.
The research shows that ease of name pronunciation affects job outcomes, with more memorable names leading to better chances of securing interviews and academic positions.
The findings indicate that having a hard-to-pronounce first name can impact academic hiring decisions more than a tricky last name, with differences as high as three times.
Discrimination based on name origin is prevalent; those with names perceived as ethnic or difficult to pronounce face significant barriers to job interviews and academic positions.
